@ceasarokoli: “No rage, no anger, just laughter and vibes. This says a lot about the zeal of our LEGO.”
@AdaIgbo00: “Darkness at the very center of power. If the lawmakers can’t keep the lights on, how can the average citizen?”
@Jaynephfa: “Stupídíty activates. Light went off and he went ahead with his speech..”
@Tradebilly1: “This how you will know Nigeria is not a serious country and all they do is to deceive the citizens.”
@Yoel_Solo555: “The room’s energy when the light was gone speaks volume. Nobody got upset, you can tell everyone is used to the system. How then can the system be changed?”
@Donremmy50: “I could remember when this administration was an opposition. Fashola said. A serious government will fix electricity within 6 months. Under them APC has been in power for 10 years and the power sector is getting worse. I guess this kind of thing never happened before in nigeria.”
